Hi. I'm in Canada.

And now we’re home again.

Our last day in Costa Rica was mostly a travel day. Our early start got delayed because one of the roads was closed because of a mudslide so we had a lazy morning before getting in the car for what should have been about a 3 hour drive. It was much, much longer. But, along the way, we stopped and got to see a crocodile (mostly just his butt) so that was pretty cool.

Our last little adventure in Costa Rica was a coffee plantation tour. After some lunch, we had a bit of time before the tour so we popped into their butterfly garden where there were SO MANY butterflies. It was fun to be right in the middle of them but, man, is it hard to photograph flying creatures. Our tour around the plantation was very interesting. They had a display set up with coffee plants in different stages of growth and then we got to go right into the facility where they separate the beans and do the roasting, etc.

Then, we finished off the last leg back to the hotel. It ended up being quite late by the time we arrived and directions had become difficult for Oscar to follow - so at one point, we ended up on something that was definitely NOT a road. But we made it back to where we started our adventures for our last night before our early flight out. We were in the same room, which was fun but, unfortunately, with how long the drive took, our quiet afternoon disappeared.

And now, we’re home again. With an insane amount of damp laundry (because NOTHING dried while we were away) and a lot of chocolate and an itch to go back and see the rest of the country.
